Pretty much what others have said. Water for bathing, until they start moving about on their own and start to get dirty. I use a miessence body wash for hair and body a couple of times a week (although with T, it was ages until she actually GREW any hair to wash LOL). Bare bottom time helps with nappy rash, but if I have to use a cream, I use liners. We don't have a little squirt, and I've toyed with the idea of getting one this time, but I probably won't. I tend to hold onto the nappy, put the lid down as far as it goes without squashing my fingers and flush the nappy - haven't lost one yet!
